Eirik Horneland couldn’t have dreamed of a better start to 2025. The new ASSE coach has breathed new life into a team in decline. But the Stéphanois are heading to the Parc des Princes this Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Back to the details of the meeting.
The Greens meet PSG this Sunday at 8:45 p.m. for the 17th day of Ligue 1. Under the orders of Mathieu Vernice, the opposition will be broadcast on DAZN.
ASSE transformed, heading towards remaining in Ligue 1?
Followers of the ten-time French champion club observed a new team last Saturday. Much less reassuring against Toulouse before the break, the Stéphanois produced a perfect copy against Stade de Reims (3-1). First leading before the break, Augustine Boakye reversed the situation with a double. Then, it was Lucas Stassin’s turn who, after a perfectly executed hook, sent the ball into the back of the net.
In offensive success, ASSE scored three goals for the first time since October 2024. The Greens made as many attempts against Reims as in all of the last four matches preceding this Saturday’s meeting (two against Rennes, three against Marseille , three against Toulouse, then four against Marseille).
Pierre Ekwah after the meeting: “It’s the best way to start the year. Of course, we conceded a small goal which spoiled the party a little, but overall, it was a very good performance with a lot of offensive intentions, movement and d intensity on our part.”
Paris plays in another championship
With no defeat suffered in 16 days of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain appears well above the Stéphanois. For their last in Ligue 1, the Parisians reversed the situation against AS Monaco, after being behind at the hour mark (final score: 4-2).
-But if Luis Enrique’s players overcame Lille, Marseille, Monaco or Lyon, teams like Auxerre or Nantes managed to snatch a draw. What about ASSE? See you this Sunday…
Yacine Hamened, PSG specialist and editor for Paris United : “The issue? Continue to maintain the gap with its pursuers at the top of the ranking, that is to say 7 points on OM and 10 on Monaco. Maybe even accentuate them since the match will take place on Sunday evening. Continue to continue in the championship. Paris does the right thing and then reassures itself offensively despite everything because PSG wastes a lot of opportunities. Unfortunately for Saint-Etienne, it could also be an opportunity for the Parisians to reassure themselves offensively.”
